I've been tossing this idea in my head for weeks now. Is hatching eggs THAT hard? How many chickens do I (myself) really need? Would an incubator just be a "waste of money"? I only need about 8 more chickens. Then I should stop... I dont want my neighbors to get mad at me LOL. What do you do with the Roo's you hatch out? I could give them away, but what if no-one wants them?
I'm really trying not to buy an incubator (hova-bater 1588) this week. I'd love one though! I also think this would be a wonderful learning experience for my kids.... so what do you all think?
I want to buy some Amaraucanas (for the blue green eggs), and some Welsummers and/or Marans for the dark eggs. I've lurked a bit and I know I need good birds, not hatchery birds. Thats why I think a bator would be so handy. I could just order good eggs and hatch them out myself...
decisions, decisions.
